The longlist for the 2024 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition has been announced…

The full list can be found here and of course our best of luck to the 90 (!) who’ve made it so far after being whittled down from thousands by 30 of the UK’s music writers, but especially to our own three choices – J. Aliya, Call Me Loop and Rebecca who we’ll be featuring in more detail very soon.

J Aliya
Not The One

We said: “A fresh song from a very talented performer. There are some old school garage vibes here, but it is a completely modern piece. Her energy, attitude, use of melody and skills on the microphone will be enjoyed by many.”

Rebecca
Chemical Love

We said: “A relaxed acoustic vibe that would be the perfect soundtrack for a warm glow on a sunny Glasto day. An instantly catchy tune with a hint of ‘breaking my heart’ melancholy that encourages a warm sway.”

Call Me Loop
Self Love

We said: “Self Love can become an anthem. Call Me Loop has an eye for catchy hooks which is evident in the way that Self Love grows into a huge pop song with lyrics that focus on making sure you love yourself before anyone else.”
